Chapter 49 Civil servants = politicians
The Turks had already put forward their conditions, that is, to let Li Shimin marry a princess to Jie Li Khan, and then give them a dowry of ten million yuan. This was just on the surface, but in fact, it meant that it was forcing the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to marry, and also sending compensation to the Turks. This compensation can be said to be very huge, enough to squeeze the Tang Dynasty's treasury dry. When Chen Fei heard this, he couldn't help but remembered that he saw information about the Weishui Alliance on his mobile phone. Li Shimin gave all the wealth in the treasury to the Turks, and then the Turks retreated.
But unexpectedly, when Chen Fei came to this era, the Turks took the initiative to propose a kindness compensation. However, perhaps history is the same, and they are all inertial. In history, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty adopted a suspicious military strategy, which successfully made the Turks think that Chang'an City had enough troops to let go of Chang'an. Of course, it was empty in history, but now it has sufficient troops. However, the Turks took the initiative to propose a kindness compensation. This was more conditions than in history, such as the original history, for example, there were no demands for a kindness compensation.
This may be the revenge of history by historical inertia. Chen Fei can make the effect change history to a certain extent, but in fact, the inertia of history is constantly being corrected. Instead, it will cause the entire history to gradually develop to the original track, and even rebound more severely.
"Dear friends, what should you do if you talk about this kind of affinity compensation?" Li Shimin asked.
And Yuchi Gong came out first and said, "Crown Prince, we cannot agree! If we send the princess to marry and give us 10 million yuan, this will ruin our face! Moreover, you have not ascended the throne yet, if you agree to this condition, you may be ruined."
Li Shimin's face turned dark, obviously knowing that if he agreed to this condition, it would be enough to ruin his face, so Li Shimin was about to say no.
"Crown Prince, wait a moment, I think I can agree!" said Prince Zhan Shiyu and Wen Shiji.
"What? Can you agree?" As soon as this was said, the military officers refused.
What is the situation now? There are 200,000 troops in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, and they are not afraid of the Turkic people breaking through Chang'an, so there is no need to agree to this kind of affinity compensation. So the generals also "shake" and obviously do not want to agree to such conditions of losing power and humiliating the country. But what does Yuwen and this guy mean actually say that they want to agree. Yuwen and now are the crown prince Zhan Shishimin's faction, and can be said to be the highest-ranking person in the Li Shimin faction. So everyone should listen to what Yuwen and what Yuwen and he said.
"Crown Prince, although our Chang'an City can be said to be solid, we can still not fight. If we want to start a war, this will be a battle of hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, how much will we destroy in the future. Our Chang'an City has just been built, and if it starts, then our Chang'an City will almost be rebuilt. At that time, who will bear the losses here? And then the soldiers will be separated, their wives will lose their husbands, and their sons will lose their fathers. Who will bear this? As for marriage, accompanying them
Marrying is not completely unacceptable. Didn’t Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han have a marriage marriage at that time? Even the Han Dynasty was like this, so there was no problem with our Tang Dynasty enduring humiliation and burdens. We can rest and rest, and then wait for us to be strong enough before we get back. As for the compensation, this is just the princess’ dowry. As long as we have to last a few more years, there will be no problem. Therefore, I think we can still consider agreeing. We still have to send these evil Turkic guests away at present!" Yu Wenshi said.
Yu Wenshi said that if the battle starts, the scale of the battle of hundreds of thousands of people will cost a huge amount. In fact, the Tang Dynasty cannot afford the battle of hundreds of thousands of people at present. The Tang Dynasty has just been unified and is in the time to restore its economy. If a battle of hundreds of thousands of people breaks out again at this time, the Tang Dynasty's economy will be really in trouble. As for Yu Wenshi, he also put forward a statement that there were marriages during the Han Dynasty, so it is not uncommon to establish it now. As long as you sleep on firewood and taste gall, there will always be revenge at that time.
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling took the initiative to say, "Crown Prince, I think you can consider it!"
"Crown Prince!" Yuchi Gong wanted to reverse Li Shimin's idea.
"Emperor, I think I can agree!" "Emperor, I agree!" "Emperor!"...
Some civil servants began to actively support the agreement and affinity compensation, but Li Shimin still looked at Fang Xuanling and fell into deep thought.
Chen Fei secretly complained that if there was no accident, Li Shimin would probably really be willing to marry his daughter and lose money to avoid disaster. This has something to do with Li Shimin's identity, and those civil servants support it, in fact, this is the difference between a politician and a military strategist.
The military general represented by Yuchi Gong is a military officer, and the military officer is quite passionate, and the war is matched with their honor and official status. If peace is paid by peace, how much the people will despise them when they go out! Therefore, the military officers led by Yuchi Gong, whether for passion or to maintain their military status, must oppose peace and affinity compensation.
But Yu Wen Shi and even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are different. These civil servants are all politicians, and politicians and soldiers are completely different creatures. Politicians emphasize stability and also use political means to solve problems. Even politicians can sacrifice a lot of things for political interests. As for letting the princess marry and sending some money to those Turks, they will not feel heartbroken. Anyway, they are not giving their own money, and they are not giving their own daughters. What are they feeling heartbroken?
Their purpose is not to want to fight, and once the war is in danger, it is too great. They just want peace and enjoy the subsequent wealth and prosperity. Now it is like some rich rich men who have become rich, so they are afraid of death. Many people are not afraid of death when they are poor, but once they are rich, they are afraid of death. The same is true for these civil officials. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty is going to unify the world, they are about to become founding heroes, so why do they still take the risk of fighting against the Turks? Anyway, what they give is not their own daughters or their own money, so there is no need to be heartbroken.
Judging from the current situation, as long as you can avoid fighting, these civil servants are willing to give away princesses and money. Never overestimate the integrity of politicians. Many of these civil servants are politicians, even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are all politicians. Even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are about to enjoy the last step of peace in the world, and their courage has not gradually retreated. Therefore, although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did not clearly support this kind of peace in their hearts, the balance in their hearts has begun to be biased towards this side.
